Camaro SS-1, WRX-1

Last night it finally happened......I lost But it was a good fight. I lined up with a 2001 Camaro SS, didnt ask what mods he had or anything, but he did have an exhaust at least. I raced him from a light, and pulled three car lengths right away, and then he just couldnt seem to catch up. Then he pulled up next to me and asked me if I wanted to go race a "quarter mile", so I said sure. So, we get there, line up, and go...instant three car lengths again. By the time I got to the top of third, he was about to my rear door, and when I hit fourth..fugetaboutit. He just frikkin took off. But I know for a fact that this was longer than a quarter, I was doing about 110-115 when I passed the finish, but they insisted that it was only quarter. So, then they wanted me to race their friend in a 5.0 fox body, and they where all giggling about this too. So, i figured WTF, why not. So, I line up with him, get a terrible launch, he actually took me by about a half a car, and then I just smoked him, I totally walked away from him, by the end I had alot of distance between us. Come on Vishnu stage 1!!

What do you have on your car?????

I have the turbo XS Unichip but it never out guns a Camero SS!!! Maybe a regular Camero, but the SS is freaking quick. I can stay close to the SS but beating it out right is a different story. 3 cars is a lot of distance.

Well if the race was done on dirt the WRX would have eaten him for lunch. These types of replies crack me up. People always seem to put a If this or if that on things. You know what they say, excuses are like a$$holes, yadda yadda yadda

Lets go find a dirt road to race on! bwhhhahahahahah! the Camaro guy could always swap on some Hoosier dirt track tires and beat up on the WRX! lol

till 30mph in what....drags, rallies, circle. My point was that there are so many types of racing out there any car can have an advantage over any car. I'm pretty sure we all know that the WRX isn't the greatest at certain types of racing but he wasn't posting about that, the race he was talking about was quarter mile thusfore 2 cars starting from a dead stop to the distance of one quarter mile, if he was racing from a rolling start I doubt he would be posting.

Well, I went out to the place we raced last night, and now I know why it felt longer than a quarter mile, it was. It was almost a half mile track! I couldnt figure out why he was so far ahead when we passed the finish, even though I had been in fourth for so long by the time we finished. Oh well, it was all in good fun, and they where impressed with my launches, even with my heavy-arse 18's!

My mods are-Vishnu Stage 0, and thats about it. My ricer excuses why I didnt do better- -two sets of golf clubs in back, full tank of gas, and two people in my car, while he had one, and my heavy wheels.

This guy must have not been able to launch good then, cause I had around three car lengths both times we went off the line. The Vishnu website advertises the 0-60 times with the stage 0 in the mid-high 4's.

Oh, and the race I actually won was shorter than a quarter mile, I didnt even get out of third before I shut down. Any longer, and I would have gotten my ass handed to me I'm sure.

I'll race your 929 with a xr650r on dirt you stupid a$$. or a R1 against your tricycle. The immaturity of some of these newbies is slowly turning this one time decent board into a joke. Most street races aren't from a light, umm? most that i have been in or seen have been. Once you get your driving license and a car please post but until then I refuse to get into a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent. Ppower-Maybe you should get some pullups for your problem.

masanz1,
the race wasn't on dirt, so there is no point bring up "if this happened and that happened." type of scenario. This is like saying if that wrx had a stage 4 kit or that SS had 150 shot, it would have been different. But it isn't.

Originally posted by Ppower The truth is if he got 3 car lengths the guy in SS screwed up.

Should've would've could've.......

I'm getting pretty tired of newbies posting just to be contrarian myself.

Why not just post your own street/track experiences up? You know, "I used to own a Camaro and I know that when I had bad launches...." Or "I know I didn't get a 3 car lead when I had a friendly race vs a Camaro...." Know what I mean? Otherwise, you'll just be another self-appointed BS cop like 87LX50. His content-free posts are generally ignored.
